A post-modern Greek tragedy unfurling against the glowing nights of Athens, A Woman’s Way: Strella follows a man, Yiorgos, on his first evening out of prison where he meets a young transsexual prostitute, Strella, with whom he falls in love. Portraying people who live on the fringes of society, questioning preconceived ideas, feelings and the collective imagination; this touching film presents a parallel world, generally considered as immoral and suspect by the larger masses. But this is a world that doesn’t for a moment doubt its own core values: humanity and compassion.

Esta postagem se trata sobre a longa-metragem Strella, a Woman`s Way, centra-se na história de Yiorgos que, libertado da prisão após 14 anos a cumprir pena por um crime que cometera na sua aldeia natal, conhece em Atenas, Strella, uma jovem prostituta transsexual por quem se apaixona perdidamente. Uma extraordinária e fascinante relação, contada ao final de uma noite, em jeito de tragédia grega, realizada este ano pelo diretor grego e amigo Panos H. Koutras. Esta é a terceira longa-metragem de ficção de Koutras.
Pena que para chegar em Brasil será dificil...

“Defies the taboos of the ancients to end up portraying a happy alternative family. The production combines dingy realism, the divine Maria Callas and plenty of sex and campy dialogue". Variety
